Plant-Based Eggplant Lasagna with Vegan Cheese #tastereview #lasagna #lasagnarecipe #eggplant
When cooked well, eggplants become richer and are a fantastic carrier of flavor. Eggplant or Aubergines which is (the French word for eggplant) come in a lot of varieties, though in America, mostly see the large, shiny, black globe eggplants, unless you shop in ethnic grocery stores. In Indonesia, we have big black shiny ones like in America and they come in white as well, then we have the long eggplants in both black purple and white. We have the mini apple variety of eggplants that are green and black and the pea-size ones that are green. And I bet you a hundred bucks there are a lot more varieties around. Salting your eggplant first for 30 minutes and then wiping it with a paper towel (do not wash it) is how we remove some of that bitterness and give them more depth of flavour when cooking them. This recipe is moorish. Holds well. And if you don’t eat it all in one go like us, it’s just as good if not better the next day. Follow my video instructions closely and don’t forget to let it sit in the tin for at least 30 minutes before you cut it up.
